Position Paper
The Nova Scotia Chiefs of Police Association has submitted its position paper, Successes, Gaps & Opportunities: Leading to a Re-envisioned Model of Policing in Nova Scotia, to the Policing Review Committee and associated stakeholders.
As part of the ongoing policing review, police agencies in Nova Scotia have been asked to identify the successes, gaps and opportunities in policing. The Nova Scotia Chiefs of Police Association (NSCPA) – representing ten municipal policing agencies across the province – is sharing its perspective with its stakeholders through this position paper and accompanying documents.
This document identifies the successes, gaps and opportunities in policing in Nova Scotia; outline what the best policing model for Nova Scotians looks like; and propose alternatives that re-envision policing in the province.
